1. Marrying a second wife, a blessing – Yul Edochie
Famous Nigerian actor Yul Edochie has revealed how marrying a second wife brought him blessings.
The 40-year-old movie star said this on his Instagram page on Thursday while talking about his new life as a polygamist.
He said: ‘‘God works in mysterious ways. Marrying a 2nd wife has brought me blessings and elevated my two lovely wives. Sometimes it takes the things we see as disappointments to happen for elevation to come,” he wrote. It happened many times in the bible, just like the case of Joseph. I’m a man after God’s heart. I’m like King David in the bible. I communicate with my God, and He guides me every day.”
The father-of-five said that he may not have initially handled the situation well with his first wife but has since resolved the issues.
“I wronged my wife May from how I went about it, and I have apologised to her sincerely from the bottom of my heart, but in the eyes of God, things are different. God blesses differently. His ways are not our ways,” he added.
“Our destinies are different. Don’t be deceived by the white man’s culture. Same White people who condemn polygamy encourage men to marry their fellow men. In the end, judgment is for God. Even white people don’t understand God fully. Nobody does. That’s why He remains God.”
This is coming after his second wife; actress Judy Austin celebrated their son Dike on the latter’s first birthday.
The actor posted his son’s photos on Instagram and prayed for him.
Yul has been on the news since April 27, after he unveiled his new family on social media. This feat stirred various reactions on social media and set the internet agog.
2. Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola share wedding plans
Nigerian singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, known as Mr Eazi, is set to marry billionaire heiress Temioluwa Otedola.
As the couple set to walk down the aisle, Nigerian music star Mr Eazi and his fiancee Temi Otedola speak about their wedding plans.
In the latest episode of their podcast, ‘How Far’, the celebrity couple said they plan to have a private wedding ceremony.
According to the billionaire heiress, she has always been a private person, deciding to have a small wedding ceremony. Eazi agreed with his wife-to-be as he gave reasons many people won’t be attending their wedding.
The lovebirds said they expect nothing less than ten close family and friends at their wedding ceremony.
The 26-year-old actress, while teasing her listeners on her podcast, said that anyone who wants them to have a big wedding should be ready to pay ten thousand dollars per person or one million dollars for a table.
Eazi also revealed he would love to have an after-party with twenty guests after the wedding ceremony.
The 30-year-old singer proposed to Temi in April 2022.
Mr Eazi and Temi have had one of the most beautiful and exciting relationships in the entertainment space.
In 2018, the music star recounted how he met the billionaire heiress.
In an interview in 2018, Mr Eazi said he met Temi through Cuppy. He revealed that he met his fiancée when her sister, Cuppy, also a friend, invited him to one of her many gigs in London, the United Kingdom. According to him, they were seated at the same table and began chatting when Cuppy left the table to take the stage.
Mr Eazi is a pioneer of Banku Music, a fusion of sound he describes as a mixture of Ghanaian highlife and Nigerian chord progressions and patterns. At the same time, Temi is one of the daughters of Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola.
Why I may never get married – Timaya
Famous Nigerian reggae-dancehall singer Timaya Odon has said why he may not get married.
In a tweet on Wednesday, he said Jesus never married when he came to live on earth, suggesting that he wanted to emulate Jesus Christ. “JESUS never got married. I’m Christ-like,” he tweeted.
Timaya may not be married, but he has been romantically linked with several women.
The Bayelsa State-born singer made headlines in the early stages of his career over his romantic relationship with actress Empress Njamah. Their relationship, however, ended after she accused him of cheating, a claim he denied.
He is the founder of DM Records Limited. His solo career began in 2005 with the release of “Dem Mama”, which also appeared on his debut album, True Story, released the following year.
Despite a successful music career, it appears his relationship with ladies has not been successful. No wonder his resolve to emulate Jesus Christ for not marrying.
However, Timaya already has four children, Emma, Gracey, Emmanuel and Maya, from three relationships.
His first baby mama and mother of Emma and Gracey is his ex-girlfriend, Barbara Nwokolo, a graduate of the Benson Idahosa University whom he dated earlier in his career.
While his second baby mama is Tamar, an interior decorator whom he dated for a while and spoiled with expensive gifts after she gave birth to his son in 2018.
The singer’s third baby mama is American-based artist, Dunnie.
